Template:Japanese name Toki Yorinari (土岐 頼芸, 1502 – December 28, 1582) was a son of Toki Masafusa and final ruling head of the Toki clan during the latter years of the Sengoku period of feudal Japan. As daimyo of Mino Province, he had hired Saito Dosan as his retainer in the 1520s, but was overthrown and expelled from the province by Dosan in a coup d'état in 1542. After this, Toki Yorinari allied with Oda Nobuhide of neighboring Owari Province (the father of the great daimyo Oda Nobunaga) and the two fought Dosan at the Battle of Kanoguchi but lost this battle.
